Elevated Estates

this was really nice, it is a smaller community than what I have been seeing and I think I like that better. I also love the fact that they were able to show me model rooms, it helps to see the possibilities other than a blank slate.

We had a very nice visit. Seemed like a really nice place. She advised we find a financial planner. Will also need to schedule other facilities.

I like this place, I like the way the place runs. The nurses always take care of me. It's a nice community to live in.

I liked Edwinola the first time I saw it when my daughter drove me here. Everyone I need is the best I have wonderful friends and the staff is wonderful to everyone. Here is great, this is my home. Edwinola is a great place to live.

I have lived at Edwinola since February 2018. I love living here. I have made several new friends. Most of the staff are fantastic. They do everything they can to make Edwinola a great place to live. I would recommend Edwinola to anyone.

A nice friendly place to live and all activities are very good. Plenty to do if you want to.

The Edwinola is a wonderful place! The staff is friend;y and always helpful and the residents are friendly. The food is great, there are lots of activities and the residents are taken on many excursions such as to local shopping centers, tours, local symphonies, and for Dr. appointments. The warm, friendly atmosphere gives us a place to call home. I love it here!

I have just moved here and everyone from the administration, staff and the other occupants have been nothing but welcoming. The worked with me to help me move into the beautiful community.

Edwinola is the best place to live, good food, good house keeping, wonderful workers, the best. No complaints

This is a great community . The staff here is very attentive and respectful. They are offered activities, but a little limited. the food is very good. I would recommend this community to other families for good care.

I have to say this is a great place everyone is so nice I walked around with Leigh the executive director.she was very informing we sat and talked for a bit , the place is lovely , which wing we were in I can't remember, I know it was very clean and looked great the house keeper have me some water as I was coughing, she was very nice and fast pase , however we went down a wing wow the smell there, a lot of dirty rooms , over all it was great , dinning was good and the staff was pleasant I was greeted by most the only down fall was the cleaning of a wing I did see the house keeper however she was not doing her job as she has the laundry door open and was just sitting there on phone. I would recommend this place to so many how ever it's just not what I'm looking for my mom thank you for a great tour and being so nice

I can't say enough about Forest Oaks Memory Care Unit, they are wonderful! Leigh and Mona went above and beyond in helping me get my husband admitted in a timely fashion. Mona even came in on her day off to meet with me and give me a tour. My husbands memory loss was becoming very difficult for me to handle at home. His falls were also increasing. I had hired outside help to come in and help, but it wasn't enough. I can now rest knowing he is receiving care in a wonderful, affordable facility.

It is awesome here and my mom is doing fabulous, she is like a new person. The community is bright, colorful and sunny. They have gotten more staff and residents, now my mom has many people to socialize with. Everyone is patient. She now likes the meals and the occupational therapist has helped her use utensils. I have seen a huge difference in my mom and I would recommend this place if the care is needed.

My mom was the very best story teller. Oftentimes, we would sit in the evening and she would tell me stories about her childhood, about her teen years, or about her career years. I was always mesmerized by the detail she would provide. In addition she would spend endless hours answering my unending questions about the topic of choice. Dementia has robbed my mom of that ability. My mom now relies on my ability to recall and story tell those precious memories. When you are looking for a community to care for your loved one, it is critical that you find one that creates new memories for you to share with your loved one. Today was a PERFECT example of how the Villas staff provided that opportunity. Two minibus loads of residents were provided the opportunity to picnic at Anderson Park on Lake Tarpon with their loved ones. Residents experienced the outdoors in ways they typically would not. The residents felt the warmth of the sun with the most delightful breeze passing through the pavilion on the edge of Lake Tarpon. I cannot count the number of times my mom told me how much she loved being in this environment. The perfect description of the day came when a resident said to the director who was escorting the resident to the bus, “You have such a wonderful family.” The resident was referring to all the staff and residents who attended the picnic. THIS is the environment for which I will be eternally grateful my mom experiences each and every day.

I have to say that when I come to this facility to visit my loved one I am impressed that every time I come everybody is just so friendly and welcoming one in particular is a housekeeper named Amanda she goes above and beyond her daily job everytime I'm there she's constantly moving she stops and talks to the staff as well as the residence I've seen her playing with the residents and joking around I find that wonderful the way that she cleans her room as well as the Halls keeps me going that she's not only doing it for the pay the med-techs and aid are good but ,I have to say I see a lot of them sitting down on their phones that bothers me the kitchen is a wonderful place great food great staff I'm pleased with my decision on keeping my loved one there,?? Amanda deserve so much more then just a housekeeping title underneath her title it should state I do all from caring and compassionate cleaning just like she would clean for her parents she's always very attentive the med-tech Debbie is wonderful I have to say that I'm pleased in so many ways the only thing that bothers me the most is that the higher up people do not recognize this I've yet to see anyone giving thank you or a pat on the back these people bust their butts from Debbie to Amanda I am very happy and I know that one day God will bless them as for Holiday Retirement you're doing a great job keeping staff on that deserves so much more God bless

My mother was at another local, "elite" facility and was not doing well at all. Her individual needs were not being met. Her weight went down to 85 lbs, she refused to get out of bed, her room reaked of urine and she was deteriorating both physically and mentally, As we all know looks aren't everything, I asked around and visited several locations. The Villas felt right in all aspects. My mother is now a very active resident. She has gained 25 lbs, is always clean and well attended to, her room is always fresh and clean. She is seldom in her room. She even nurtures other residents. She is thriving and I attribute it all to the Villas and their personal, and loving care.

I visited the facility, the place was beautiful , the tour we took was very informative, I have to say it smells great we were taken down a wing and it was very organized , on our second visit and to have lunch we were waiting on Mona to finish up my mother who is 101 and very sharp had to go to the bathroom so we went back down a wing, while waiting on my mom I was greeted by a very friendly housekeeper her name was amanda she told me about the library, and the residents we laughed she walked us into the cafe where we ate the food was bland again waiting, amanda comes and sits down asks how the food is and told us more she definitely went above and beyond her job to make sure my mother was completely comfortable, I have to say a person like her is hard to find I will definitely be back , but I want to thank amanda for showing us so much more then we knew already she is a asset to your company and needs to be acknowledged all in all it was a great place and friendly people very satisfied with all the help

My Mother is a new resident at The Villas at Sunset Bay. One of the reasons I choose this facility is that the care is for Alzheimers and Dementia only. The staff is well trained for taking care of people with Memory loss. I am impressed with the way the staff makes sure they address each resident by name. The food is outstanding, not instutional food like some facilities. The activities director is fantastic and engages the residents in activities. They even offer outings. The management staff is always accessible by email or phone and address any concerns right away. I am so happy I decided to put my Mother at this facility.

A PERFECT FIT FOR MY MOM...  I am very protective of my mom.  As her health rapidly declined and led her down the road to dementia, I had to accept the fact that her daily living needs were more than I could handle on my own.  This in itself was a difficult reality to face.  As I researched potential memory care communities, I had unwavering standards:  a loving, attentive staff who would appreciate my mom's personality and sense of humor; the ability to provide outstanding medical care; and exceptional food service that my mom would look forward to eating on a daily basis.  Fortunately for our family, the Villas have continued to meet the standard we have set.  Whenever I have had a concern or a question, no matter how trivial, they welcome the opportunity to dialog.  Whenever I visit with my mom, regardless of the time of day or night, I am welcomed and addressed by name.  The only thing I wish the Villas had is a larger outdoor patio area for the residents.

They’re very, very nice. They are good at controlling the idiosyncrasies of Alzheimer’s Disease patients, helping them cope. They’re very friendly. They are wonder for the price. I see some activities chart. They do music and bingo and help them stay active in a social setting.
